This "Journal" was recorded by Mr. Wendell in 1850 and includes a
translation of various items from the native tongue to English. The
native tongues appear to be all Central Algonquian languages and
Mr. Wendell mentions Menominee, Washtenaw, Algonquin and
Pottawatomie. There is also a page devoted to a description of the
Northern League of Indian Tribes. The topics covered are "Indian"
names for: Towns in Canada, New York, Northwest Territory and
Pennsylvania; Rivers in Michigan and Wisconsin; Bays in Michigan;
Islands in Michigan; Points (Geographic) in Michigan; Lime Island
and Indian "Cross' Distance Markers and Stick; Lakes of Michigan;
Ottawa & Chippewa Indian Names of Kinds of Woods in Michigan;
Grains in Michigan; Months of the Year and other miscellaneous
items. Also included is an index of names referred to in the
probate papers, many of which were prominent citizens and
government officials of the Village of Mackinac during the late
1880's.
